Caption Contest

The White House threw a sop to the gun lobby by releasing a picture of Obama allegedly skeet shooting. It looks, to me, like a bad Photoshopping job. For starters, since when does a skeet shooter fire with their gun at ground level? To add another dimension of ludicrousness to the whole thing, the White House has forbidden any Photoshopping of their Photoshopped photo, which is like forbidding a rewrite editor to revise Clifford Irving's biography of Howard Hughes.
It's like the White House releasing a photo of Obama gorging himself on Big Macs or filling up a Humvee with premium gas just to prove he's not anti-corporate. Personally, I prefer Poor Richard's own Photoshopping job in spite of the WH's ridiculous and unenforceable injunction.
